Thank You: To Fyre, for letting me use Mercedes.
Synopsis: After a family tragedy, the Boscorelli finds out there is an additional member of their family. This story takes place a few months after my story 'Vengeance'. It has nothing to do with any episodes. It just popped into my head. Please R&R.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mercedes rolled around in bed, her dreams turning to nightmares as she moaned in her sleep. She was in bed next to Carlos. They had been married 2 months ago. They still lived with Maurice, who was asleep in his own room down the hall. Carlos was fast asleep, lying on his face, back to her as her eyes moved rapidly in her sleep, a sure sign of REM sleep. In her dream she saw that same horrible night 1-month ago. It haunted her everyday of her life.
*****Dream*****
She sat in the bus with Kim, looking around bored. Kim looked at the clock, wondering why this evening was going so slowly. It was Mercedes 25th birthday and they wanted the night to end, so they could celebrate. Mercedes looked at her as a call came in.
"Adam 55-4, Please respond to Multiple GSW's at 1255 Brooklyn Lane. Wait for clearance before treating"
"Adam 55-4 responding." Mercedes called back as Kim flipped the lights and drove towards the scene. Scene clearance meant it wasn't safe and they had to wait until the police cleared the scene to treat anyone. Mercedes patted her 4-month pregnant stomach. She was starting to show, but didn't mind. She wouldn't go for Maternity Leave until the last minute. Arriving on the scene, she saw 55-3, and her husband. Smiling she jumped out and go the stretcher ready with the bags. She moved next to Carlos and waited. She saw her brother Maurice clearing the scene, arresting people and shoving them into Paddy Wagons. Sgt. Christopher nodded the scene was clear and both teams moved to do assessments. Bosco shoved another person into the Paddy Wagon; not knowing his sister was there. She rushed to one man who had a GSW to the head and shook her head, black tagging him. He was a DOA. The dream moved in Slow Motion from here on.
Bosco saw his sister and ran towards her. There was one body he did not want her to see. As Mercedes moved towards it, Bosco stopped her. But she had already seen the grisly sight. Doc was leaned over the body of her other brother, Mikey. Bosco held her in place as she fought him, screaming that she had to see him. Mikey was dead. Shot in the neck and chest repeatedly. Mercedes started to scream, as Mikey was black tagged. Doc moved to the rest of the bodies with Kim as Carlos ran over, hearing his wife screaming. Bosco held her as she sunk to the ground, in a puddle of Mikey's blood, crying and screaming.

Mercedes shot up in bed, screaming. Carlos jumped, startled awake, as his wife screamed in her sleep. As he moved to see her, she jumped out of bed, wearing halter-top and little shorts. Carlos jumped up following her as she ran into the hall. Bosco had heard her scream as well and ran to see what happened. She slammed right into his bare chest and fell to the floor, she was hysterical. Carlos kneeled behind her and wrapped his arms around her as Bosco looked down at his sister. He was used to the nightmares now. She had them every night since the tragedy.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." She rocked in Carlos' arms as he held her.
"Sorry for what, Love?" Carlos had started to call her by the nickname that Bosco used.
"For Mikey. And.." She trailed off. Miscarrying on top of Mikey's death practically destroyed her. Bosco sighed and got up, getting her some water. Carlos wrapped one arm around her knees and the other around her chest, picking her up in his arms.
"Love, it wasn't your fault. None of it was. Things happen. Don't blame yourself, please?" Carlos laid her back on the bed as she had gotten quiet. Bosco walked back in with a glass of water, and passed it to Mercedes as she stared at the wall. She looked like she was about to start bawling again, but she didn't. She hadn't been to work since Mikey was killed. She had gone to the Department's psychologist, but it wasn't helping. Carlos moved to her side and laid next to her as she curled to him. She felt like a disappointment. She couldn't help her brother and now her unborn child, Carlos' unborn child, was dead. Maurice looked at the clock. It was 5:13 in the morning. He looked at Carlos, who nodded for him to back to bed. Maurice sighed, and left, going to his room. He wouldn't be able to sleep knowing his sister was in this state. Sometimes he even thought she had snapped. He fell into a restless sleep as Carlos caressed Mercedes hair. Carlos had moved them into a more comfortable position and was cradling her to sleep. Mercedes moaned softly in her sleep as Carlos closed his eyes.
